What was the employee's ethnicity and religion?
What might the employee have had going that got him on a watch list? What were your instincts about the employee prior to his boarhogging by The Man? |

It is for your safety and security, Citizen, please carry on. I do wonder, though, if we are getting the entire story here. I mean it is all I know. The FBI and 20 cop cars raided our business. Arrested an employee. Raided his home looking for pressure canner and bomb making materials. Found little old scared lady with jarred goods. Even if there is more to the story...how can the FBI and NYSP do all this and be SO wrong??? what exactly was the charge? |

Need news article so I can post this on Facebook. I literally can't find a single article on this. Usually our news is on top of these things. They all listen to scanners...I guess the FBI kept it pretty hush hush? I don't know I am no expert. |

All I know is the FBI and NYSP raided business and his mother's home, arrested him, and found nothing terror related. I may have missing details, but this is crazy none the less. |

If you called the local news and told them an employee's house and place of work were raided for bomb making related reasons, I'd imagine they would jump on it. We had a local story that was all over the news when police discovered home made fireworks at a guys house. |

You really think this is unfathomable with all the crazy police state crap and scandals that go down in our country???? Please tell me you have been paying attention the last few months, Hell, years. Sadly, this did not shock me as it should have. |

Crikey. Are they going to send in the JBTs if you buy a small air compressor or portable compressed air tank? A paintball CO2 tank? A scuba tank? A propane tank for a grill? A steel garden sprayer? A water heater? And won't they even bother to send in a local detective to do an interview before they send in the Federal paramilitaries? Hell in a handbasket, going there America is. |

You have been asked multiple times of the employee's ethnicity and have not answered. Why is it that you can answer all the other questions but this one?

I mean for the sake of our country, I almost HOPE there is more to the story other than a pressure canner purchase and a suspicious hardware store clerk...I will try to find out more... |

Are you saying that if he was a muslim or a eastern european that this arrest would have been ok? |

Honestly I don't know his race...I will find out though...as I am interested if it played into the arrest...because that would be fucked up too. Hell maybe he was Irish and had parents in the IRA? I really don't know his race...Don't know the guy. I WILL find out. |

There are millions of muslims in the US. A tiny percentage of them have any terror relations. Miniscule percentage. Just like gun owners. Millions of us. And only a tiny percent of them are mass shooters. So it is OK for the FBI to arrest you for being a white supremecist bomb making gun owning tea partier? Only to find out you are just a collector / target shooter / conservative? |

I've been meaning to buy a nice canner, but as soon as that Boston shit happened I figured it's safer to wait.
I can still pickle things and the garden won't be giving me anything for a couple months anyway Speed |

OK GD...an employee of mine (actually an employee of a family business) was arrested Tuesday night. Cliffs notes: Employee had a small criminal record - nothing serious - a juvenile arrest years ago for evading police or something. Not sure of exact charges, but it was when he was a kid. Not sure how that record plays into this, but it must have. Anyway, Tuesday night, our parking lot was SWARMED by 20 police cars, and multiple FBI cars. Full raid. Scared the hell out of everyone, and they were really forceful with this employee. What happened was, he went to a local hardware store and purchased a pressure canner for his elderly, disabled MOTHER. Her hobby is canning. It appears like the owner or manager of the hardware store got a bad vibe, and called police. They also raided the poor little old disabled lady's home, scared the hell out of her, and guess what... FOUND NOTHING. No bomb making materials. No evil doings at all. HOLY SHIT I AM PISSED. How does the FBI and NYSP raid a business and a home based on the purchase of a pressure canner and a "bad vibe" ??? There HAS to be more to the story, but I am not finding it. I don't think the employee made any threats or demonstrated any dangerous behavior. He was a normal guy. As he was being taken out in cuffs, he begged to be able to call the manager to get someone to replace him, so the store could continue with business. A good employee for sure. What the hell is going on in this country. And before you bash NY, this could have happened in ANY state. The FBI is out of control, as are state police. You don't get a search warrant on a store owners feeling |
